An electronic gaming machine ('EGM') can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory can include machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the EGM to perform operations. The operations can include determining a position of a selector relative to a button while the button is in an inactive state. The operations can further include adjusting operation of the EGM based on the position of the selector relative to the button while the button is in the inactive state.

Provided are systems for providing ticket and cashless discount offers. As system includes a processor circuit that receives, from a player, a request for a cashout that corresponds to a cash balance held by the player at the end of a gaming session. A cashout bonus status that corresponds to the player and to the gaming session is determined. A bonus portion that is based on the cashout bonus status and the cash balance is determined. The system transmits an offer message to the player. The offer message includes an offer to allocate the bonus portion and the cash balance to be spent with a predefined vendor that is associated with a game provider. If the player accepts the offer, the bonus portion and at least a portion of the cash balance are transferred to an account that is associated with the player and the predefined vendor.

A roulette wheel device, and related devices, systems, and methods, includes a base coupled to a table, the base having a circular ball track within a circular rim. The roulette wheel device further includes a circular wheelhead rotatably coupled to the base within the ball track. The wheelhead includes a circular ring having a plurality of pockets, wherein the circular ball track is sloped downwardly toward the circular ring to direct a roulette ball into one of the plurality of pockets. The wheelhead further includes a circular display subassembly including a display device to selectively display graphical elements corresponding to the plurality of pockets. The circular ball track, the circular ring, and the circular display subassembly are substantially concentric.

The present disclosure relates generally to electronic playing cards, each of the playing cards comprising opposing first and second planar playing card surfaces such that, when being viewed by the corresponding player, the first planar playing card surface faces the other players and the second planar playing card surface faces the corresponding player. The first and/or second planar playing card surface can comprise a digital display. A gaming system can assign an electronic playing card to each player in a card game and determine and provide to each of the electronic playing cards an assigned playing card parameter (e.g., card suit and rank) for depiction by a digital display of the respective playing card.

The present disclosure relates generally to a gaming token representing a wager amount placed in a game that can provide different sensory feedback responses in response to different sensed contexts associated with the token. Illustratively, a method of facilitating player interaction in a game includes receiving, by a gaming system, a gaming token representing a wager amount placed in a game; receiving, by a processor of the gaming system from a context sensor, input that a context is associated with the gaming token; determining by the processor, from among a plurality of different possible sensory feedback responses, a selected sensory feedback response corresponding to a determined context; and causing, by the processor, the gaming token to produce the processor selected sensory feedback response.

The present disclosure relates generally to media and multimedia synchronization systems and methods. As a non-limiting example, a gaming system and method processes event-related signals from gaming devices to identify a particular occurrence of an event and generates a media content message based on the particular occurrence of the event and transmits the media content message to multiple target gaming devices. The multiple target gaming devices determine which of their output devices is available and causes the available output devices to present, synchronously with the output devices of the other target gaming devices, the media content to collectively provide a selected presentation.

In certain embodiments, a furnishing can comprise a display device disposed on a surface of the furnishing and a sensor providing an electrical signal indicating a presence of a player within a predetermined distance and a location of the player relative to the display device. A processor can be coupled with the display device and the sensor. A memory can be coupled with and readable by the processor and can store therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive the electrical signal from the sensor and detect the presence and the location of the player relative to the display device based on the electrical signal. The instructions can further cause the processor to present an instance of the electronic game on the display device dynamically adapted based on the detected presence and location of the player relative to the display device.

According to one embodiment, managing a player pool can comprise receiving a request to initiate a player pool and generating a record defining the player pool and defining a rule for the player pool. The rule can define handling of results of gaming activity in which members of the player pool participate and handling of a player pool amount at an occurrence of a predetermined event. Requests can be received from participants to participate in the player pool and the record defining the player pool can be updated to indicate addition of the participants. An indication of a contribution amount made by each participant can also be received and the record can be updated to increment the player pool amount based on the contributions. Gaming activity of the participants can be monitored and the player pool amount can be updated based on the monitor and the rule for the player pool.
